Unborn Baby Monkeys Exposed to Toxins; Other Monkeys Deprived of Food and Water

In experiments at Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC), pregnant monkeys' unborn babies have been exposed to toxins and other monkeys have been irradiated. The impact of the radiation was so horrific that nearly half of them died before the experiment was completed, which led one experimenter to quit the project and leave the university. PETA just released a first-ever video showing monkeys' living conditions inside this horrible facility.

The Face of Fashion Is Fear: Urban Outfitters' Brands Put Profit Above Animals' Lives

Workers in the leather industry castrate and brand animals and cut off their tails before forcing them to endure arduous journeys to the slaughterhouse. Goats exploited for mohair were picked up by the tail, thrown, and mutilated with knives and pliers. Sheep and alpacas were hit and kicked and endured other forms of abuse. Tell Urban Outfitters that you'll be doing your holiday shopping elsewhere until it commits to selling only vegan materials.

Eli and Susie Forced to Perform, Then Abandoned at a Pseudo-Sanctuary

Some Restaurants Are Serving Octopuses and Other Animals ALIVE

They're pulled from a tank, flung onto a table, pinned down as their arms and legs are cut off, and served to diners. Octopuses are playful, resourceful, and inquisitive. They possess long-term and short-term memories and are among the most highly evolved invertebrates. They feel pain, and cutting off their tentacles is no different than chopping a dog's leg off piece by piece. This barbaric practice needs to end now.

AirBridgeCargo Reportedly Resumes Transporting Monkeys for Experimentation

Now the airline is refusing to explain this apparent violation of its own policy. Please write to the company and urge it not to ship monkeys to laboratories and to stop evading questions.
